13 years later, Inter return to the Champions League final

AC Milan must overthrow their rival and score at least two goals without conceding to hope to qualify for the Champions League final on June 10 in Istanbul. After their defeat (0-2) in the first leg, the Rossoneri no longer have a choice and are trying to make a difference. Théo Hernandez lights the first fuse from 35 meters but his powerful shot goes over the interist crossbar (6th). A few moments later, Brahim Diaz is not far from opening the scoring, but his attempt in the area is well stopped by Onana (12th).

The Rossoneri’s start has nothing to do with last week’s start, but it still lacks efficiency. For its part, Inter manages its lead, and almost managed the perfect shot on a clear shot from Barella (14th), perfectly stopped by Maignan. Afterwards, Clément Turpin signals an offside on this action. There is also tension in the air with rough contacts, like Dumfries and Hernandez (30th), with a high foot from the French international.

THE ROSSONERI’S HUGE OPPORTUNITY! ???? What a job from Tonali who offers a caviar to Diaz but Onana is on parade! ??

The best chances of this first period come just before returning to the locker room. On a solitary rush at first, Leão is not far from achieving a magnificent feat (37th) but his shot grazes the left post of Onana. Just after, it was Mike Maignan who distinguished himself by repelling a header from Dzeko (39th) at close range following an interist free kick.

The second period is much less intense and offers little spectacle. AC Milan is still struggling to break through the opposing lock and is content with a sterile possession against an Inter team that defends wonderfully. Simone Inzaghi took the opportunity to blow some of her elements and notably brought in Romelu Lukaku and Robin Gosens.

By dint of not being dangerous, AC Milan will be punished by their rival: Lautaro Martinez opens the scoring after a good stint with Romelu Lukaku, deceiving Mike Maignan who could have done better on this action (1-0, 74th). The crushing blow is terrible for Giroud and his family who can no longer achieve anything on the pitch, after another generally disappointing performance.

Lautaro Martínez opens the scoring! And bury the last hopes of AC Milan? ??

In the final, Inter Milan will find the winner of the Manchester City-Real Madrid double confrontation in Istanbul on June 10. In the first leg, the two teams ended in a draw (1-1) at the Bernabeu. While waiting to know their opponent, the Nerazzurri can savor the progress made, they who had not been in the final since 2010 and their victory under José Mourinho with Diego Milito, Maicon, Samuel Eto’o or Wesley Sneijder at the time. .
